The amenities guests want

According to a consumer survey commissioned by Airbnb, the majority of travellers say amenities are a top priority for a great trip. This is even more important now, as guests search for longer stays.

What’s more, guests often filter their search results to find 10 top amenities. To stand out in search results, make sure you’re adding or updating your amenities to include these in your listing if you have them. Thoughtfully outfitting your space and adding popular amenities to your listing will help you stand out from the crowd.

Listings with accessibility features are prioritized in Airbnb search, so it’s a good idea to highlight them in your amenities and photos.
